Chapter 41: Farewell
Matt's wake-up was the next day. After he let out a soft grunt www.biquge.info Peter and Mindy, who were helping him tidy up his room, immediately came up.
During this time, he had been recuperating in his apartment, and after much consideration and examination, they did not take him to the hospital. George, who had nothing to do in the morning, came here to take care of him, and in the afternoon, after school, Peter came to take over. And Mindy came to visit. Matt didn't need much care other than the occasional milk and water, and looking at his almost messy apartment, Peter began to clean up.
Matt may be an out-and-out strong man in battle, but in these details of life, he has a lot of inherent disadvantages.
The injuries on his body were not so serious, and the injuries he had suffered in the previous battle had healed by fifty or sixty percent, and his mobility had basically recovered. Although his recovery ability is not as strong as Peter's, it is quite amazing.
During his time in captivity, Kilgrave did not leave his injuries unattended, but instead controlled a surgeon to come and examine and care for him. After all, in the eyes of Kilgrave at the time, it was only a matter of time before Matt would become 'his own man' sooner or later.
"You mean, you managed to resist his control for a full six days while he used his own blood?" Peter was surprised by this, and Mindy was directly skeptical.
"You're lying, aren't you? Rest assured, there's nothing to be ashamed of in this regard. Her words sounded rather awkward. But if you do reveal anything to him, it's best to let us know beforehand. Although Kilgrave is dead, Kim is not alive. And this information will undoubtedly be more dangerous in his hands. β
Peter glared at her disapprovingly. "I believe Matt." He said.
"Okay, whatever you want." Mindy cut to herself with disdain. "I'm just thinking about you anyway. Don't be prepared for anything, and don't blame me for regretting it at the last minute. β
Peter was about to open his mouth to defend Matt, but he was interrupted by Matt.
"No, this young lady's suspicions are indeed justified, and it is generally difficult for a normal person to resist this Kilgrave's ability." He said weakly, a smile on his face. "But I'm not an ordinary person, and being blind has helped me quite ironically in this matter."
Peter pondered for a moment, and soon showed a look of sudden realization, while Mindy was still a little puzzled. "I don't understand what you mean, can you explain it?" I don't know if she's used to it, but her tone is as unkind as ever.
"As you've said yourself, Kilgrave's ability to control is to combine altruistic words with his body movements to achieve an effect very similar to hypnosis." Peter preemptively began to explain to Minty. "You've said before that if you block your vision somehow, Kilgrave's abilities will be greatly reduced."
"And Mattβ" Peter gestured into Matt's blank eyes. He did something very similar, blocking his vision. β
"I see... That's a lot of the past. Mindy nodded thoughtfully. But it doesn't matter now. Anyway, Kilgrave is dead, and the favor I owe you is over. β
"That's right." Peter nodded. "Thank you very much for your help, if it weren't for your information, I'm afraid this operation would not have the slightest chance of success."
"That's fine. My dad and I are going to Maine soon. Then we'll be able to leave all this damn behind us and live our new life. But before I do that, I'll tell you what I know. β
"Okay." Peter glanced at Matt, who had fallen asleep again, and nodded. "Let's go out and talk again."
-----
The two walked out of the door of the room and sat down on the couch in the living room. Mindy snorted, lay down lazily, and rested her legs on the coffee table. The neon light outside the window filtered through the small window, dyeing her face rainbow-colored. Peter gave her a look and slapped her feet off the coffee table, and instead of losing her temper, she fell into some kind of contemplation.
"Kim is not someone you can defeat alone." After a while, Mindy finally spoke, and her first words were rather unkind. "If I were you, I would stop all activities about your identity as a red mask now, and live my ordinary life well. Unless you're unlucky, you'll never cross paths again. β
"That's what you're trying to tell me?" Peter looked at Mindy with a playful expression. "If you're trying to persuade me to give up, you've tried many times."
"Just one last reminder. He's not a street gangster, he's not an ordinary gangster boss, he's the emperor of a dark dynasty. You can't find his hiding place, and even if you do, what can you do? Send him to prison? He would have come out in less than twelve hours, and he didn't have any incriminating evidence in his hands, otherwise the FBI would have been eyeing him a long time ago. β
"I can kill him so he can't do any more evil." Peter said it with a rather lighthearted voice, and Mindy laughed straight away.
"Looks like you don't have any resistance to murder. That's great, but I don't know what your 'father-in-law' will feel about the news. She snorted again and rubbed her eyes. But you're thinking a little too simply. Killing Kim won't solve anything, it will only make everything else worse. β
"What do you say?"
"Although Wilson. Fisk's means and benevolence are definitely not compatible, but at least under his rule, there is 'order' in the underworld of New York and the major cities of the East Coast. And if he dies, the gangsters who have lost order will cause a catastrophe for the sake of power disputes. Nearly 1,000 people will die in this turmoil, until a new 'Golden Harmony' emerges. And at that point, you will find that nothing has changed in yourself. β
"Then we just need to find a new way."
"If you can think of it, I'd listen to it. But unless you want to take his place, everything you do is in vain. With that, she looked at Peter with a strange look, as if trying to find some reaction in his face. Peter only shook his head.
"No, I'm not going to do that kind of thing."
"That's going to be a bit tricky," Mindy sighed. Forget it, no amount of what I say is useless. I also know a limited amount of things, but I know a little bit about some of his subordinate organizations. β
"Well, wait a minute." Peter quickly took a pen and paper from his school bag and sat down in front of Mindy like a schoolboy in a class. "You can start talking."
-----
Four days later, the New York coach station.
"Well, good luck, if you need any help, you can always contact us." Peter handed the last of his suitcase to the bus driver, wiped the sweat from his head, and turned to Mindy. Not far away, George shook hands with Damon and said his goodbye.
"Come on. I don't want to get involved in your affairs anymore in my life. Mindy rolled her eyes and stroked her blonde hair back behind her shoulders. You've messed up all the powers in New York in less than a year, and I want to live a few more years. Don't worry, the commission I paid as a mercenary has allowed us to live without any problems for a few years, and you don't need to worry about the rest. β
"I'm just saying... In case something happens..."
"Come on, don't make do with your crow's mouth. Speaking of luck, you probably need it more than I do. Speaking of which, Uncle Stacy is still opposed to your private activities? β
"To be honest, I don't know right now, I guess it's the default attitude." Peter smiled wryly and touched his ear. "Actually, he is right, my current strength is not enough to guarantee the safety of everyone. I need to get stronger. β
"And a change of gear." Mindy smiled and slipped a note into Peter's hand. "Follow the information above to find that person and tell him that Purple Eye sent you here, and he will naturally help you build a new set of equipment. Of course, you have to pay for the materials yourself. β
"Well, thank you." Peter took the note and put it in his pocket, but the next moment, Mindy suddenly approached and hugged him in his arms. Feeling the softness of the two lumps pressing on his face, his body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't even dare to move.
"Thank you, little one, this is a benefit from your sister." She whispered in his ear, and Peter shuddered. Looking at his performance, Mindy couldn't help but laugh.
"Little virgin, I don't know how long you'll live while you're doing this kind of death. But you haven't eaten such a beautiful little girlfriend yet, so don't regret it at the last minute. She continued to tease Peter in a flirtatious tone, then increased the force of her hand by two points. And when Peter was almost out of breath, she suddenly let go and pushed him away. At this moment, Damon and George had come up behind them, and the latter had a rather bad face and stared at Peter with a dangerous look.
"Alright, goodbye~" Damon and Mindy boarded the bus and said their final goodbyes to Peter and George. Five minutes later, with the roar of the engine, the bus started up, and after a period of acceleration, it was out of Peter's sight.
The era of super-killing girls and big dads ushered in their own endings.
